I agree. Much fun, do it frequently. And the men do (as so often) have a huge advantage.

First of all, notice the word ENGLISH. This is the stuff they dance in Jane Austen movies It doesn't mean that Mr Bean, Sherlock Holmes, and Benjamin Disraeli took up Square Dancing.

So English Country dances predate ballroom then?
And yes, I read them. You are a good writer, very entertaining. So you make matches eh? How many do you put in a box?

Yes, and no. In the Regency period, the waltz was introduced, and was a scandal, because it was partnered and in close contact. Although that style of dance became the norm, technically, what we now refer to as "country dances" were danced in ballrooms until late in that period.

Yes I knew about the Walz being considered not decent. But my history is a bit warped here and there.

You should look for English Country Dancing or Contra (similar) groups in your area, and drag your boyfriend. It'll make him miserable, and you'll have tons of fun. On that note, at one such event I danced with a classmate of my sister's from college, and her boyfriend had to watch because he was too wimpy to dance.

Because everybody knows chocolate voodoo dolls just don't work. Hardly effective those. They get eaten all the time and do you think it works? Naaah. Worthless. No, stealing old mooters' identity and use their credit cards to buy land for frog sanctuaries is far more worthwhile. Wait- I didn't say that out loud, did I?
